(54)	Driving support device, driving support method, and computer program

(57) A driving support device, a driving support method, and a computer program are structured such that an image of peripheral environments of a vehicle is captured by a camera, a traveling state of the vehicle is obtained, a blind spot region seen from a driver generated by a right front pillar after a predetermined period of time is calculated by considering a time lag until a captured image captured by the camera is projected by a projector, an image corresponding to the calculated blind spot region is extracted from the captured image captured by the camera, and the extracted image is projected on the inside surface of the right front pillar using the projector.
